1. Download once
Grab the published v0.1.1 build from Refs, unzip it, and drag Refs Capture into Applications like a normal utility.
Refs Capture for Mac
Keep from anywhere on your Mac without leaving the thing you were doing.
Install the lightweight Refs Capture companion, summon it with one hotkey, type or paste into one field, and let the save land in the same Refs account your phone already trusts.
Current release v0.1.1Signed and notarizedPublished Apr 20, 2026, 4:13 PM
This build is signed, notarized, and stapled, so the website download should behave like a normal Mac utility install.
2. Pair without signing in again
Open this page from the phone handoff flow so the Mac app can inherit a short-lived pairing grant.
3. Save from anywhere
Choose a hotkey in the menu bar app, summon the panel over any app, and keep text, links, or supported browser context without opening a full desktop product.
